The trailer for Taika Waititi’s new satirical war dramedy, “JoJo Rabbit,” is gasp-inducing. It features Hitler Youth, knee socks and all, practicing Nazi salutes, war games, ambush techniques, and other martial maneuvers. It also shows a bedraggled Jewish girl secreted in someone’s attic. All this accompanied by cheery songs such as “I’m a Believer” by The Monkees—only in German.
